Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Windmill Hill, Kent
Our technicians come to Windmill Hill for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Shower tray repair in Windmill Hill, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Windmill Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit

How to get a price

Repair or replace in Windmill Hill?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
